Jewish leaders need to step up on climate change

Jewish leaders need to step up on climate change The Jewish world’s environmentalist engagement of three decades ago is overdue for a revival.

Back in 2014, a PRRI survey found that fully 78% of us consider climate change either “a crisis” or “a major problem” the highest proportion of any religious group in America. And there’s no shortage of Jews involved in large secular environmental organizations, to say nothing of a number of small Jewish ones.
